I for one, disagree, with this simplistic argument. For example, when we use coal or fossil fuels, more damage is done, but it is distributed, and less visible (and easy to take pictures of the victims).
Nonetheless, there is no way in hell the above post is flamebait.
You mean rich folks have an advantage? Damn. ll my life, there has been equality between the haves and the have nots. Especially in golf. Now, that is falling down like a house of cards.
My life is over. Anyone want my user id before I go to end it all?
Ah, yes, young and gulible. Maybe you trust the current owners. Will the current owners be able to resist shareholder pressure? Will they always be the owners? Will they decide to find new challenges once they have mastered the web? Will they live forever? Will that data magically disappear once new owners take over?
If I've learned anything about history, it is that power corrupts. Religous, secular, white, black, rich or poor, it does not matter. Give it time, and Google will abuse their power.
And the difference between microsoft and Google? Your data lives on Google's servers.
The article isn't entirely clear whether the app reports back to MS your web surfing locations.
Yeah. Thank God, we can rely on Google to not do anything like that. Can you imagine what potential for misuse there would be if a company like Google recorded your web surfing habits?
New patch advisory: "This patch solves yet another attack vector that can be exploited by a malicious hacker. The fact is, this is like sticking your finger in a dike. Actually, it is more like sticking your finger in a non-existant dike against a tsunami. Tomorrow, five other security holes will be discovered. Odds are, this patch will introduce yet more attack vectors. You are screwed"

I looked up the definition of pregnancy, and found something about intercourse. What is this strange concept? I think it has to do with a city in Pennsylvania, but fail to see the connection. Can anyone help?
Why yes, I do use Linux exclusively. Why do you ask?
Don't you just hate it when some schmuck steals your joke just before you post it? I've been following that other guy... he's a real karma whore. But he's too dumb to realize that +5 Funny doesn't get you karma.

Okay, here's the problem. You seemed to me to be saying that teenagers as a whole were growing up. How the fuck did I interpret it like that? Don't know.
Interestingly, almost 80 percent of teens indicated that they intend to spend less time playing video games in 2006 and nearly 70 percent indicated that their interest in playing video games is decreasing.
At least TFA did not refer to anything showing that the afe group itself was experiencing a declne. If you looked at the underlying data to see otherwiser, then I just have one thing to say: "You must be new here".
Hey. I, for one, enjoy marathon gaming sessions. In fact, I am currently addicted to a game which has hours of intense game play, and is difficult to walk away from. When I find Slashdot isn't enough to keep me stimulated, I wander over to this game..

Ah yes. Flamebait = I disagree.

Everyone was out on a hot date, or getting ready for the celebration of Christ's resurection. This is Slashdot after all.
I for one have no desire to see it when the goatse.cx virus hits.
It must be a good ad. It got lashdot and other news sites posting about it. Remember: "there is no such thing as bad publicity."

And goatse.cx made it to number one. Congratulations Slashdot trolls everywhere!

I was going to go grammar Nazi on you, but then I realized "loosing" actually works in this context.
The chair. Seriously.
I agree.

This can fix anything.
If that doesn't do it, throw in this too.
Please note that all typoes made in the above post were due to my typing on a $100 computer. The keyboard is attrocious.

Perhaps less caffeine is in order?
Bzzzt.

That's why he didn't get a (full) degree. Sheesh.

Radical idea. Puberty hits. Older kids get interested in girls. Making friends. Socializing.
I'd post more, but I don't want to frighten off Slashdot's majority population.
